welcome to swan therapy
My Mission
At Swan Hypnotherapy, my mission is to provide high-quality, compassionate and supportive therapy to individuals, couples, and families struggling with mental health issues, relationships, bereavement and loss and other life challenges. I believe that therapy should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or financial situation, and therefore I offer a sliding scale approach to cost.
Expertise
As a qualified psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience in supporting people with their mental health, I now specialise in helping people navigate difficult life transitions with the use of psychotherapy and hypnosis. I have extensive training and experience working with bereavement and loss, restorative methods of facilitation, and working with hypnosis in ways that are specific to a persons needs to bring about some relief from the distress that they feel.

Approach
My therapeutic approach is integrative, meaning I draw from a variety of evidence-based techniques and tailor my approach to each client's unique needs. I prioritise creating a warm and supportive environment for my people where they feel safe, listened to and valued.
Practice and ethics
Expertise
With over 20 years of experience working with people in support roles and my own life experience, I specialise in anxiety, trauma and hypnosis, drawing from psychological, criminological and therapeutic perspectives. I am currently looking at a PhD in psychophysiological influences of hypnosis, particularly on emotion regulation. I have also recently been a consulting counsellor & psychotherapist for a project at the University of Kent in collaboration with the University of Essex.
My Philosophy
I believe that everyone has the potential for growth and change, and that therapy can help unlock that potential. I provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgement.
My Story
I became a therapist because I am passionate about helping people live their best lives. I have many years of experience working with a diverse range of clients and have developed techniques that help are tried and tested with good results.
What is hypnosis and how does it work?
Debunking the myths and misconceptions
It can be difficult to trust in something which you cannot see, and putting your trust in a professional whom you are paying can add to that. Hypnosis has been used for a very long time and there has been research conducted over the years to support the health benefits that hypnosis brings. More recently, a study from Finland has showed that brain regions can act independently of each other during hypnosis, showing that an altered state of consciousness does indeed change the way the brain functions and therefore processes information.
If you are interested in the process of hypnosis, and how I use it with clients, please do ask when you have your introductory call or first appointment. I would be very happy to explain how I work to you.
